Fix 1: Update your Wi-Fi driver

Updating your Wi-Fi driver should be your go-to option especially when Wi-Fi is not working on your laptop. Since chances are high that you have the outdated/mismatched driver or even not having one at all, which accounts for the WiFi icon/option missing, hence not working problem on your laptop.

To update your Wi-Fi driver, you might have to connect your laptop to a wired network for Internet access.

There’re two ways you can update your Wi-Fi driver: manually and automatically. If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREEor the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):
